"Your grace abounds in deepest waters" These are lyrics from my jam! Oceans, by Hillsong United. If you haven't heard it....Google it!! You wont be disappointed, in fact you'll be uplifted and encouraged....because like the song says, Lord your grace abounds in deepest waters!!
As it may seem, I am in some deep waters, but Ryan and I have seen grace poured out aboundently upon us. That is what this post is all about--YOU!! We both are beside ourselves from the blessing you have shown us. We wanted to take the time to acknowledge everyone for their powerful and passionate prayers for my cancer and for our relationship. The Lord is so good, and His grace is flowing through all of you!! It is clear that Eugene is our home. As Im writing this....it's not even a fraction of how good I want it to sound! I guess words can not express the love and support we have been generously given.
This is also a good time to say, that as I start treatment, this blog will be my way of connecting with you all. Although I would love the time and energy to keep up with all the FB communication, emails, and phone calls, moving forward my amazing (and hot) husband Ryan will take over those types of communication. I hope this does not discourage you form writing me, because I honestly find so much encourament from that, but rather a big "I wish I could respond to everyone" Please know how grateful I am for you!!
An update on my lungs, they are healing, however I've had a weird cough/old man wheeze thing going on the last few days. My blood clots are still there so legs hurt on and off. I am taking afternoon naps when I need too. I do feel my body is changing...pains here and there....so I am ready to start this fight. This Wednesday I'll be going to see Dr. Jae Lee at WVCI for my treatment plan, and hope to start next week!! I am feeling good about things, a peace and confidence....I cant explain it...but maybe this verse can.....
Phillippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
What I've learned....
1. My dogs are the best! Byher and Miles want to cuddle with me all day long and they keep me warm :)
2. Wig shopping/invesigating is way harder than I thought it would be! I mean, human hair? Remy? Heat ressistant? Blended? Synthetic? Hand tied? Lace front? So many choices, what's a girl to do?! ;)
3. I love my Job, my co-workers and by boss. They have been so understanding and flexible with me. Again, another reason why The Lord had big plans for Ryan and Iright here in Eugene.
